Abstract

A telecommunications network node (22,12) includes at least one network signaling server operable to receive and send network messages, an Ethernet server coupled to the network signaling server and operable to process the network messages and convert the network messages to TCP/IP messages and vice versa, and at least one TCP/IP port coupled to the Ethernet server and operable to send and receive the TCP/IP messages over Ethernet.
